St. Louis Park council approves Park Tavern seasonal patio permit, $5 million in disbursements
Summary
At its May meeting, the St. Louis Park City Council approved a temporary seasonal premises amendment for Park Tavern (including a patio), accepted a $100 donation to the fire department and approved city disbursements totaling about $5 million.
The St. Louis Park City Council voted in May 2025 to approve a temporary seasonal premises amendment for Park Tavern Lounge and Lanes, accepted a $100 donation to the fire department and approved city disbursements totaling roughly $5,000,000.
The votes occurred as part of the council’s consent agenda during a regularly scheduled meeting led by Mayor Mohammed. Council members moved and seconded the consent items and approved them by voice vote.
The action clears a temporary seasonal premises amendment for Park Tavern. Phil Weber, owner of Park Tavern, told the council his business at 3401 Louisiana Avenue South is preparing for the summer and said, “Just hopefully, just another great summer.” A council member described the disbursements in the consent agenda as “$5,000,000 well spent.”
The council also recognized a $100 donation from the Pine Heart Foundation to the St. Louis Park Fire Department. The council accepted that donation during the consent vote.
The council did not hold a separate public hearing on the Park Tavern amendment during this meeting; the license amendment and the disbursements were approved as part of the consent agenda with no recorded roll-call objections. The meeting transcript records that all present members answered “aye” when the chair called for the vote.
Council communications after the consent votes included announcements about community events such as an Arbor Day celebration, a gardening swap, a spring cleanup day, and a recent EV charging station ribbon-cutting, but the council took no further action on those items during this meeting.
City staff and the council did not detail any conditions attached to the Park Tavern amendment in the public record of this meeting; the council’s approval was recorded as a consent-item vote approving the amendment, disbursements and donation together.
